We're so excited to celebrate with you!

How we met: We Matched on Tinder First Date: March 19th, 2016, Fajitas Mexican Restaurant. (I had her at Tacos) First Movie: Zootopia First Time at Wrigley Field for Sam: May 12th, 2018. Cubs v.s White Sox game. Waited 3 hours for the rain delay to end and then left after checking the weather report to learn there was a 90% chance of heavy rain the rest of the day. By the time we got to our car, the game had started and the Cubs ended up winning 8-4! First Trip Together: Las Vegas July 2018. (Sam’s Golden Birthday) Our flight was delayed an hour which would have forced us to miss our connecting flight in San Diego, so we decided to take a direct flight at the last minute with our bags already checked. We ran to the gate and made the flight (it was like a scene from Home Alone). Landed in Vegas without any of our bags and had to go to the airport the next morning to pick them up, but overall had a great time. Grand Canyon Tour, Hoover Dam, Matt Franco, and Lobster Rolls. First Road Trip: March 2019 (Chicago, Illinois to Mobile, Alabama) We wanted to really test how much we can tolerate each other in a confined space so we decided to drive to Mobile, Alabama for Mardi Gras 2019! Drove 7 hours and spent the night in Nashville, TN. Got to eat some delicious BBQ, listened to great music, and enjoyed downtown Nashville scene. Woke up early the next morning to complete our drive hitting a terrible rain storm along the way. Little did we know there was a Tornado only a few miles away from us. Finally made it to Mobile, Alabama where we spent the week with Sam’s best friend Jackie and goddaughter Penny. On our last day we decided to drive the full 13 hours back non-stop, except to go 1 hour out of our way to St. Louis to eat at Twisted Ranch. First Apartment Together: May 2019, Oak Forest, Illinois

Sam insisted on us sharing a luggage so she can snoop for the ring she suspected she was getting on the trip. Little did she know I had it hidden in a good spot and she would not actually get the ring until I was ready to propose. It was a great moment and worked our perfectly thanks to some help from friends, but I finally bent the knee.
